About Suyash Thakare

Hi there! Thanks for visiting my website.

I'm a User Experience Researcher and Designer with a background in User Experience Design and Computer Engineering. In 2018, I joined Georgia Tech's Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction program to solidify my UX skill set further. My knowledge of user research and front-end coding along with design makes me a well-rounded designer. It enables me to effectively collaborate with fellow researchers, designers, and developers.

I firmly believe that great products are created through a symbiotic relationship between research and design. In other words, it's not just the pretty pixels that matter but also getting at the crux of understanding why designs exist the way they do and their ramifications on people's interactions.

In my free time, I love to workout at the gym, hike, travel, watch tv-shows/movies and read books. Fun fact - I’ve travelled to 6 countries and I’m not going to stop until I’ve seen them all!
